Abstract

Nasal polyp are soft, painless, non cancerous growths, semi-translucent edematous masses with a broad or slim base usually arising from the mucosal lining of paranasal sinuses or on the lining of nasal passages. In most cases, polyps are considered to be manifestation of chronic inflammation due to asthma, recurring infection, allergies, drug sensitivity or certain immune disorders. Nasal polyp are very rare in children, the incidence is 0.1% of all nasal polyp case. Thirty three percent of all nasal polyp case in children are antrochoanal type. Multiple polyp can occur in children with chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, cystic fibrosis or allergic fungal sinusitis. Medication like steroid can often shrink or eliminate nasal polyps, but surgery is sometimes needed to remove them. Even after successful treatment, nasal polyp often return. In this case report we present a 5 years old boy with nasal polyp sinistra with allergic rhinitis and necessitating endoscopic surgical intervention.
